Jet Li plus Indiana Jones = this film. Nothing classic, just a fun popcorn flick.
This is Indiana Jones style with a storytelling style that borders on the disjointed...but is well worth the effort.
Much better than expected. Billed as a Jet Li Indiana Jones movie but supposedly not nearly as good. I thought it had a great story, some humor, impressive action. A definite for Jet Li fans.
I used to own this film, but not anymore. Jet Li himself isn't a fan of this film, and I can see why. It's quite possibly his worst film. The story's utter nonsense... The only saving graces are the fight scenes and Rosamund Kwan's legs.

| Y | Really looked forward to this film. However, the first two times I watched it I had difficulty following the story which has never been a problem with one of his films. Lovers of Jet Li will want if for their collection but not for the story. | Bedlam.Kleric |
I wasted my money! I watched half of this movie and thought "this is painful to watch", turned it off, and haven't looked at it since. There are much better jet films out there, so don't waste your money!
| In my opinion I thought this was a good Jet movie--even though it lacks story, the fight scenes were good. They weren't excellent or the best, but they were good and wonderful to watch. Mostly the fights were fast-paced, which made it exciting. There's even special effects employed into the fight scenes. There is one shot of bullet time motion and the rest of the fights are worthwhile to watch, especially if you're a Jet fan and a fan of Hong Kong cinema action. Wire-fu is used a lot to enhance innovative moves and the humor is like Fong Sai Yuk, but not too much like it if you know what I mean. Slow motion is used when flying kicks etc. are performed.
The plot kind of sucks as it has Indiana Jones style, but who cares, we only watch it for Jet fights scenes and acting and that etc. Actually, the good thing about the story is that it is different for a change--i.e. different setting and style--from Jet's previous films. It's always good to see something different for a change! Overall, if you are a Jet fan, then I would consider to add this movie to your Jet collection, although some say they don't like it at all and rather watch Fist of Legend and Once Upon A Time In China style of movies. This can be a rent or a buy, so just see it to find out for yourself! |
A poor imitation of an Indiana Jones film. Not very funny and very slow to say the least. A very disappointing role for a very talented Jet Li.
